Abstract

This case concerns a 54-year-old patient presenting to the Emergency Department with acute dyspnea and a loud stridor. Fiberscopy showed a large subglottic granuloma, most likely resulting from recent endotracheal intubation because of a severe COVID-19 infection. Increase in COVID-19 associated intubations may result in an increase of post-intubation granulomas.
